Phil Mickelson responded to a fan who was trolling him on social media. While enjoying his break away from the green in the offseason, the American golfer is pretty active on the internet.
On October 4, a golf fan, Johnny Johnson, shared his game plan to defend his club championship on his X (formerly Twitter) account. He shared a few points and mentioned that he plans to "tee it low, get it in play," and he hadn’t played golf since "9/1" so he enjoyed the "fact that" he "gets to play golf." Mickelson replied to the fan and wrote:
"Interesting game plan that could work. A plan I know works is tee it high, hit nasty bombs, go find it, get up and down, collect trophy."

"Didn’t get it done. Seriously debating quitting the game. But thank you to all of you who showed me support this weekend. Except @PhilMickelson f**k you and f**k your s**t ass advice"
Mickelson reacted to it. He wrote:
"This extreme language will not shock or upset me as I’m getting quite used to it. AND I take full responsibility for greatly underestimated just how terrible a golfer you really are. My bad"

"No rumors. My Ryder Cup involvement is over. I’m happy being a spectator and rooting for Team USA"
